First Neighborhood is a one-tract neighborhood of Westlake Village, CA, population 3,677. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Westlake Village baseline of 28.1%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 33.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 8.3/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. 2.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 3.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Westlake Village average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $152,232.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
